Out of the curve |
| Description: |
The Q train swings around the curve, completing the "S" as it rolls into a tangent for a short stretch. Its been several years since the US 59 project cleared out the trees here, and new ones are starting to obstruct the view. |

Meeting the Q |
| Description: |
The DPU on the M train passes the head end of the Q train. Todays M train has an ex BNSF AC44, one of a group KCS picked up second hand. I hardly ever see these units; this is the second one Id seen today. |

Rolling past |
| Description: |
After getting the shot of the leader going past the signals, I ran to get it meeting the power on the Q train. He was a bit faster than me, and I didnt get the power passing power shot I wanted. This is still a pretty good action shot, though, of the Q train conductor giving the northbound a roll by. |

In the shade |
| Description: |
After shooting the meet with the northbound oil train at Siloam, I took off, making good time through town-the biggest obstacle to chasing on this part of the Heavener Sub, getting through Siloam-and was able to beat the train to North Watts, but not far enough ahead to get the strarght on shot of him coming off the Illinois River bridge. I had to settle for this shot of him splitting the signals at CP North Watts. A decent shot in any event. The low sun of late fall means lots of shade here most of the day. |

Wide view |
| Description: |
A wide view of the Q train passing the empty oil train in the siding. The sun is low and the second unit it in shadow in this mid afternoon shot,. The large building in the background is Pro Pak, a packaging operaton. It used to be Allen Canning, the packers of Popeye Spinach, now another corporate memory. |
